UIIS Children Are Introduced to American Jewish History
the Far East, as well as ar-
ticles on literature.
Publication of his "Jews in
American History" was made
possible by a grant from the
United Hebrew Charities of
the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion.
By the time America's Bi-
centennial observance rolls
around, the children in Dalet
class (fourth grade) of the
United Hebrew Schools will
be 15 years old.
If a new booklet they are
using has achieved the goal
of its writer, there will be
great interest among the chil-
dren in the origins and contri-
butions of American Jewry.
The booklet, "Jews in
American History," was writ-
ten by Lawrence Rosinger,
a member of the English de-
partment at Henry Ford
Community College. Rosing-
er, who received a masters
degree in history from Co-
lumbia University, has writ-
ten books and articles on
Rosinger begins the ac-
count with the first settle-
ment in New Amsterdam in
1654. Thereafter, he relates
the struggle of the Jews to
win their rightful place in
American society, serving
with distinction in all facets
of the republic.
Their contributions to the
American Revolution, to both
sides in the Civil War and to
the war against fascism are

they are a disciplined group.

There is a lack of prison
guards in Israel and the
difficult and responsible work
rests on the shoulders of a
few men. Their salaries are
low.
Each Arab prisoner costs
the Israeli government IL
4,500 ($1,100) per year.
There was the case of a
terrorist who after his re-
lease from prison expressed
his wish to be converted to
Judaism to atone for his
past. The two terrorist girls
who were captured at Lod
Airport after hijacking a
Sabena airliner expressed a
wish to be converted to Juda-
ism in order to be able to
marry Jews.
A majority of Arab ter-
rorists in Israeli prisons
certainly never dreamed of
living at the cost of the Is-
raeli authorities in Israeli
prisons.
